Maryam Gate Residences

Maryam Gate Residences is a completed low-rise development by Eagle Hills, positioned on Maryam Island in downtown Sharjah and delivered in Q1 2023. Six residential buildings form the project, arranged as part of the island's broader masterplan and sitting adjacent to the waterfront promenade that defines the district.

# Six buildings on a planned island address

Maryam Island occupies a promontory in downtown Sharjah, overlooking the Arabian Sea and the Al Khan Lagoon. The geography gives the address a perimeter water aspect that few mainland sites in the Northern Emirates can replicate. Eagle Hills, the Abu Dhabi-based developer behind projects in Belgrade, Rabat and Amman, applied a similar mixed-use logic here: residential clusters set around retail, public gardens and a beach, rather than a single tower inserted into an existing urban fabric.

Maryam Gate Residences forms the residential core of that plan. The six buildings are low-rise in scale, which is a deliberate contrast to the density of the Sharjah mainland nearby. Contemporary Arabic architectural references mark the exteriors without tipping into pastiche. The development is fully complete, at 100 per cent construction readiness, and all units have been sold.

# Residences and specification

The broader Maryam Gate cluster includes Naseem Residences as a named component, a seven-storey building containing 58 units. Configuration runs from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom apartments, with three-bedroom townhouses also part of the mix. Kitchens are fitted and equipped as standard. Residences are delivered unfurnished, which suits buyers intending to owner-occupy or letting investors who prefer a blank specification for tenant fit-out.

Service charges are confirmed at 10 to 11 AED per square foot annually, a figure that positions the project at the more accessible end of managed island living in the emirate.

# Amenities across the community

The shared facilities are practical rather than extravagant. A main swimming pool and a dedicated children's pool serve residents across the cluster, supported by a gym and a children's play area. Landscaped grounds connect the buildings, with paths configured for walking and jogging. Direct access to the island's beach and its retail boulevard adds outdoor range without requiring residents to leave the island.

# Connections to Sharjah, Dubai and beyond

Maryam Island sits at a road junction with genuine regional reach. Al Taawun Road and Al Ittihad Road provide the primary routes outward, linking the island to central Sharjah in minutes and to Dubai via a corridor that many Northern Emirates commuters already use daily. Ajman and Umm Al Quwain are similarly accessible, which broadens the practical catchment for tenants who work across emirate boundaries.

# Who the project suits now that it has sold through

With the development sold out and completed, the relevant buyer today is one acquiring on the secondary market. The profile is a GCC or expatriate household seeking a finished, income-generating asset in an address that carries genuine waterfront credentials at a price point below comparable Dubai Island or Palm Jumeirah inventory. The low-rise format and community scale also attract buyers who find large tower developments impersonal. For that cohort, a completed island project with a functioning retail and leisure perimeter, held at Sharjah valuations, represents a considered alternative to the better-publicised Dubai waterfront pipeline.
